The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel hereby gives notice: of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on April 2, 2018, by Christopher Skillington. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 44, Number 65, of the April 3, 2018, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B3-11.001, Florida Administrative Code, entitled, “Continuing Education,” which requires that in order to renew a clinical laboratory personnel license, a minimum of 24 contact hours of continuing education shall be earned during each biennium including a minimum of one contact hour for each of the categories in which the individual is licensed.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public telephonic meeting, held on June 15, 2018. The Board’s Order, filed on July 9, 2018, granted the petition finding that Petitioner established that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 64B3-11.001, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
